Answers to Questions
How to generate permutations?
Item permutations consist in the list of all possible arrangements and ordering of elements in any order.
Example: A,B,C can be shuffled in 6 ways: A,B,C B,A,C C,A,B A,C,B B,C,A C,B,A
For partial permutations (A,B among A,B,C) see arrangements.
How to count permutations?
Counting permutations uses combinatorics and factorials
Example: For \( n \) items, the number of permutations is equal to \( n! \) (factorial of \( n \))
How to count distinct permutations?
Having a repeated item involves a division of the number of permutations. Count the number of permutations of these repeated items.
Example: DCODE letters have \( 5! = 120 \) permutations but contain the letter D twice (these \( 2 \) letters D have \( 2! \) permutations), so divide the total number of permutations \( 5! \) by \( 2! \): \( 5!/2!=60 \) distinct permutations.
How to remove the limit when computing permutations?
Permutations makes exponential values witch needs huge computing servers with huge memory cells, so the generation must be paid.
